Translated transcript of dialogue:
MAN:
Um, miss, what are you doing?
WOMAN BEGGAR:
Begging for money to go home.
MAN:
Your home is Qingyuan village?
WOMAN BEGGAR:
That’s right.
MAN:
Qingyuan village… where is that?
WOMAN BEGGAR:
It’s from five hundred years ago.
MAN:
From five hundred years ago? In that case, if I donate some money to your cause, how will you be able to give it back to me?
WOMAN BEGGAR:
With noble sir’s kindness, I should [repay you] by being betrothed to you, but I am so homesick! But when the day comes in the future, this humble girl will definitely repay your noble sir’s kindness.
MAN:
Noble sir’s kindness…heh, no need [to repay]. But if at that time you were to run away [disappear, renege on her promise], how would I find you?
WOMAN BEGGAR:
This is a token/pledge. [she hands him a "Certificate of Life-long Full Financial Support", a fake document identifying a kept mistress, a woman who is financially supported by a man.]
MAN:
So with this…this…this lousy card? But even with this lousy card I still can’t get a hold of you.
WOMAN BEGGAR:
That’s not a problem, wait a second…oh, here it is. [Pulls out a mobile smartphone] What’s your phone number?
MAN:
Al….right.
